Absurd really. Noise, deflection, keeper standing back, crickets chirping at the ground. Ump must've been thinking of dinner at the wrong moment.

Worst Umpiring decision

What conveniently conveniently gets left out of the discourse is that the vast majority of the deflection was off the bat and not the keeper's gloves. Had Haddin not been in the road I doubt it'd have gone any more than a foot further from Clarke.

Rreminds me a bit of the Michael Holding kicking the stumps down incident in Dunedin.
Both poor decisions, but if have to try to explain how ump missed it then maybe both played late gloving it while passing almost behind part of their bodies from the umps view point.

I've just watched this match for the first time.
That umpiring decision (timestamped) to deny Danny Morrison the last Australian wicket might be the most disgraceful act of umpiring villainy I've ever seen. The record books ought to be retrospectively amended to reflect that NZ drew that series 1-1 and Border was still winless after eight series. No doubt a serious competitor and sportsman like him would have been embarrassed to secure a series in such circumstances. I'm embarrassed for him just watching it!

This is a total tangent but this + the recent Gilchrist discussion has made me realise that there are a whole stack of series since 2009 that Australia lost or drew that arguably could have been drawn or won respectively had there actually been competent high-quality keeping behind the stumps the whole time rather than what we've had to put up with since then.
